§ David WinnickTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the Indian passport and travel documents were sent to the constituent of the hon. Member for Walsall, North without explanation or information on how to proceed, ref 5773882. [185289]
§ Mr. Browne[holding answer 20 July 2004]: I understand that on the occasions that my hon. Friend's constituent applied for a No Time Limit (NIL) endorsement, his documents were returned to him with a covering letter explaining that a further endorsement cannot be placed in his passport whilst he is in possession of a valid travel document endorsed with an NIL stamp.
